What Is A Laboratory Incubator?

A laboratory incubator is a heated, insulated box used to grow and maintain microbiological or cell cultures. The laboratory incubator maintains optimal temperature, humidity and gaseous content of the atmosphere inside. Many lab incubators include a programmable timer which may be set to cycle through different temperatures and humidity levels. Lab incubators vary in size from table-top units to large systems the size of a cupboard.

Laboratory Incubator range available from Froilabo. Enquire online for more information about our lab incubators.

There are many different types of lab incubators, including dry bath incubators with single or dual blocks, biological oxygen demand (BOD) units ideal for insect or plant studies, shaking incubators, hybridization ovens, bioreactors, and a wide variety of laboratory test chambers.

Laboratory Incubator Uses

The purpose of a laboratory incubator is to provide a controlled, contaminant-free environment for safe and reliable work with cell and tissue cultures by regulating conditions such as temperature, humidity, and CO2.

Laboratory incubators are essential for the growth and storage of bacterial cultures, cell and tissue culture, biochemical and haematological studies, pharmaceutical work and food analysis.

Laboratory Incubators are suitable for industry, research, aeronautical, and medical purposes. Enquire online for Lab Incubator Price.

Laboratory Incubators vs Ovens – What’s The Difference?

Because they both produce heat, ovens and lab incubators are often mistakenly assumed to be the same thing or attempted to be used for the same function. However, the difference is that an oven produces temperatures typically ranging from 93.3 to 316 degrees Celsius, while a lab incubator typically ranges from 15.6 to 48.9 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, an oven cannot be used as a lab incubator because most ovens will not have a low enough temperature that is suitable for using as an incubator.
